Re: WHEN will we know SET TIMES????

i've said it once & ill say it again...

SUNDAY 4/20.

but most will be too high to notice and say it happened on monday... and then the board will BLOW UP from all the hundreds of bitching about conflicts... "OMG Metric is conflicting with Gogol!!! OMG Justice is conflicting with anybody!!! OMG why was i soo wrong about Waters playing a silent fest???" and the one or two bitches complaining about stage assignments...

Re: WHEN will we know SET TIMES????

Just saw on Lolla's web that their schedule will be up in June...two months before the fest. I wish we could just get 'chella to put up the schedule a few days earlier this year...by this weekend so that we can all spend our weekend planning out our "MUST SEE" bands and filling in all the gaps with the others we "WANT" to see.

Re: WHEN will we know SET TIMES????

dunno. this will be my first one since it became a "destination" festival. you would think 2 months in advance would cause issues, but you would think two weeks should be do-able...

I hate how 'chella only gives you a few days to make your selections. i'd like to be able to get more familiar with the "filler" bands that I"m going to have to see to fill in the voids in my schedule. Oh well, though...at least they announce it before the festival so you're not running around all crazy.

They basically have two "main" stages, so, yeah. And they have the exact same set time schedule, rather than alternate. And lots of cases where 4 bands start and stop at the same time. It's almost like two different festivals, and you walk between them.

Last year they had Muse vs Interpol. No contest for me, but still silly. At least it looks like they TRY though. Vegoose schedule was just dumb. Public Enemy vs Cypress Hill might make sense at an all hip-hop festival, but not when there's only a few hip-hop acts. And I think Atmosphere was on the third stage. Also, Iggy vs QOTSA, Muse vs UNKLE, Battles vs Gogol (not an obvious conflict, but when there's only 12-16 acts in a day, that's unacceptable.) Oh, and Thievery Corp overlapped Daft Punk, but I think they were just running late.

Re: WHEN will we know SET TIMES????

Thievery was scheduled to overlap DP, but they did go a bit late. I was ok with it cuz I saw at the HOB @ Mandalay Bay the night b4. The HOB show was better as well. Plus I was all geared up for Daft...

Re: WHEN will we know SET TIMES????

I believe it was Tuesday last year. I remember I had to work then go straight to school and only got a minute to look at the set times on the school computer.

It was Monday April 23rd last year.
